2. Your right to have a break from caring for someone
else
You may have the right to a regular break from
caring for someone else. This break is called a ‘short break’ or
‘respite care’. The break may last for a few hours or even a few
days at a time.
The person you care for will be looked after by someone else
while you have a break.
Speak to the social services department of your local council to
find out what help they can give you.
